PRESS RELEASE for immediate release June 2nd 2022
There will be music from the very start of this year’s Buxton Fringe as on the first night of the Fringe on July 6th, Club Acoustic presents a range of local musicians in a showcase of songs at The Old Clubhouse. Lovers of folk will also want to see Fringe debutantes, Rare Occasion, performing Rare Occasion in Concert at the Green Man Gallery, and at the same venue, Four Tell with two performances of their show Telling Tales featuring a lovely mix of traditional and contemporary songs. Singer/songwriter Chris Milner - Journeyman meanwhile shares songs, wine and stories from almost 50 years in the British folk scene in Midnight Wine at the United Reformed Church.
Vocal harmonies will be very much in evidence, across a wide range of styles. Among the first to perform at this year’s Fringe will be VociVoices, with An Afternoon of Favourites on July 8th at St Mary’s Church. The Ordsall Acappella Singers are back with Simply Acappella on July 16th at the United Reformed Church while later that evening, the Albion Choir makes a return to St John’s Church, celebrating its tenth anniversary with Albion After Hours: Songs of Love and Connection. The Fringe has no less than three community choirs in 2022: Kaleidoscope Community Choir with Singing Together, Kaboodle Choir with Harmonies with a Smile (including a performance at the Pavilion Gardens Bandstand) and the brand new Buxton Community Choir with Life is a Cabaret! Welcome to the House of Fun. Audiences are urged to make sure they catch these choirs as they have only four performances in total.
Adrienne Pyne and Stephanie Leung present a more intimate musical style with An Art Song Recital: Under the Greenwood Tree while towards the end of the Fringe, previous award nominee the Close Enough Barbershop Quartet is back with its close harmony arrangements spanning everything from East European folk to Big Band swingtime. In another highlight, Fringe regular and winner of two Fringe awards, vocalist and musician Pieter Egriega returns with ‘his most ambitious project’, Adventures in Sound and Light, at the Rotunda.
Music is one of the Fringe’s largest categories. For further Music entertainment see www.buxtonfringe.org.uk or download the free Buxton Fringe App.
The Fringe wishes to thank High Peak Borough Council, its Fringe Friends and the town’s many Fringe supporters and venues.
